What is the easiest state to register your cobra in?

[cobrarkc]

Does Anyone know which state is the easiest to register a new cobra in? I met someone that told me they register it in Alabama, all they had to do was send the paperwork down there and they mailed them a 1965 title. Has anyone actually done this?

You have to mail in a application with, bill of sale for kit, motor and / or trannie, MSO and a couple of dollars ( $25 or something like that ) sit back and wait on the local state trooper who does the inspections. He will call and ask direction to where your car is. He will look at the motor number and always ask about the trannie number. He does have a State of Ala vin tag which he will install unless you insist on doing it yourself. The title will say assembled car and is titled the year you apply for title. Not 1965 unless you have a frame or old vin number. I think they have stopped most of the 1965 stuff. They do not check for anything but stolen parts. Very easy.

If you live in NJ, you are pretty much stuck with titling and registering your car here. Forget about Alabama unless you are planning to move there. NJ MVS is hip to any and all of the "title tricks" or "trades" and will want to inspect anything that just does not "feel right" before they issue you a title these days........But what would I know

California Sorry but I had to say it!

Wyoming wasn't bad, MSO and bill of sale was all that I needed.

Washington state. I walked in with the MSO and the receipt for the kit, paid the sales tax on the kit only (no other receipts were required) and walked out 5 mins. later with my plates and a title for a 1965 Hurricane. No inspections and emission exempt.

Yeah I like the califoenia one . Its easier to registar an illegal immagrant than it is to registar a cobra here.

Took my MSO into the DMV and twenty minutes later walked out with my Oregon registration. The only inspection was to make sure the data plate matched the MSO.

Wisconsin couldn't be easier...1 page form, send MSO, engine, tranny and chassis receipts and money and the title shows up in 3 weeks. No emissions ever, in fact if you buy a hobbyist plate, there are no annual registration fees...ever.

Did I mention how high our taxes are here?

[traindriver]

Oh..and forgot to mention....no inspections at all, it's all done by mail.

[Jim Werth]

High taxes? Here? By the way I went with hobbyist plates, good forever.

You know, it would be good if someone collected this information and put it in a searchable format somewhere. I am not computer literate enough to do that, so it won't be me...

I was very happy here in Iowa. MSO and recipts for materials used, most of which had taxes paid on them already. Appointment for inspection and fill out application. Took about an hour. Paid fees and got plates. Could only be regestered as of the year you are regestering it in.

South Carolina...Take title to county office, pay 29.00 property tax and 300.00 sales tax (state maximum) go to DMV and pay 24.00 tag fee. No inspections. If vehicle registered is over 25 years old, no property tax and you can get antique plate for 30.00. My car is registered as 65 Superformance.

What year is it titled as?

Getting back to Alabama, how exactly do I do this? My tags are all due in Oct so I was waiting until then to get everything done [ I live in Alabama].

I do know from past experience to get all of my ducks in a row BEFORE getting there.

I talked to Unique Motors just down the road, briefly, and he was saying something like get it titled as a 65. I just can't remember everything he said, and I hate to bug him again with the same question [very nice people at Unique btw]

You had to resurrect a 7 year old thread to ask this question? A lot has changed since then.
